Or use the same acting style.

Ok, I love Nicholas Cage. He is awesome and his role in Leaving Las Vegas was just damn awesome. However, I feel that most of his roles are the same. He is loud, abrasive and the victim who overcomes his adversity. He is almost always yelling and his mannerisms seem to be the same no matter what character he plays.

Julia Roberts. I love her too. But at times, that quirkiness seems to penetrate a lot of the roles she plays. In Erin Brockovich, I didn't see it at all. WHICH WAS GREAT. In STEPMOM, it wasn't there either. BUT! in the comedic/dramatic roles, she has this quirkiness that drives me crazy. It's like she is playing her Pretty Woman role everytime.

alan alda does that no matter if its mash west wing or one of his movies its always the same thing i like alan but he seemes to play every role the same way

Jennifer Aniston, she's always Rachel to me and Owen Wilson.

I would consider myself a happy man if Bruce Willis never ever played a burnt out cop again.

that's another thing I was hoping people would post. Are there people that no matter what role they play, you see them as a certain character they played? As well as the initial question that I made this thread abt.:wave:

Goldie Hawn back when she was in her prime always played the same role.

meg ryan...even when she's tried to deviate, she's still the romantic-comedy heroine.

john cusack (but that's ok because he's hot) :)

and a comedian i heard on the bob and tom show once said samuel l. jackson

Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, and all the others like them. I hope the novelty will someday end.
